3 days from Marrakech to Sahara

TOUR ITINERARY

Experience the ultimate desert adventure. From historic kasbahs to camel rides in Erg Chebbi, discover the magic of Morocco in just 3 unforgettable days.

Day 1: Marrakesh – Ait Benhaddou – Gorg Dades

We will welcome you at Marrakech airport or your hotel. Our journey begins toward Ouarzazate, an ancient caravan town known as the Gateway to the Sahara.
We’ll cross the scenic High Atlas Mountains via the 2,260-meter Tizi n’Tichka pass, stopping in the Berber town of Taddert. Along the way, we visit the iconic Kasbah Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its red earth architecture.
After lunch near the Kasbah, we continue through Ouarzazate—“the Hollywood of Africa”—and follow the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs. We’ll stop in Kalaat M’Gouna, known for its roses and annual Rose Festival, before arriving at our hotel in the Dades Gorge.

Day 2: Dades Gorge – Todra Gorge – Merzouga

After breakfast, we drive through the valley to admire the rock formations known as “monkey toes” and visit the 19th-century Kasbah of Ait Youl.
We continue through the Todra Valley and reach Todra Gorge, where cliffs rise up to 300 meters—perfect for rock climbers. After exploring, we head to Erfoud and Rissani for lunch.
Later, we arrive in Merzouga, where your camel awaits. You’ll trek into the vast Erg Chebbi dunes, guided by a local camel man. Spend the night under the stars in a Berber desert camp or in a nomadic tent.

Day 3: Merzouga – Marrakech

After breakfast, we depart Merzouga toward Rissani, a traditional town and historical foundation of the Alaouite dynasty.
Our return route passes through Alnif, Tazarine, Nkob, and Agdz, with views of the Draa Valley, lined with hundreds of kasbahs.
Finally, we cross the Tizi n’Tichka Pass and arrive in Marrakech, ending the tour.
